In this episode of the VMblog Expert Video Interview Series, we are joined by Yan Ness, the CEO of VergeIO. Watch this video interview as we learn more about VergeIO.

The company's VergeOS software goes beyond HCI and converges the entire data center (virtualization, networking, and storage) into a cohesive data center operating system. The result is an ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI), that unifies the underlying hardware into a highly scalable global resource pool.

During this interview, Yan Ness gives an overview of the company, and then, immediately dives in to explain what Ultraconverged Infrastructure is all about and why organizations need it. Ness also explains the differences between Ultraconverged Infrastructure and Hyperconverged Infrastructure, as well as its benefits.

Watch and find out how it can scale up or down, and understand how customers have used it to help with patch management, ransomware and other use cases.
